[quote=Anonymous]I agree that we shouldn’t be sheltering our kids before college. Let your kid have a basic iPhone. For the record, my daughter has a phone, gets mostly As, and she still reads when she isn’t busy with homework. She reads the most during school breaks when she doesn’t have a lot to do. My freshman DD knows three girls without phones in her grade. All three kids play sports and get excellent grades but their social lives are all very different. The first girl is on the quieter/introverted side and her friend group is full of people she has known since elementary school. The second girl is a nice person with great grades but my DD says that she isn’t very well-rounded and all her conversations are about sports, she isn’t knowledgeable about pop culture and she doesn’t love reading. The third is an outgoing extroverted girl super involved in sports and activities. She isn’t in the popular group but has lots of friends in lots of groups in addition to having a small group of best friends. [/quote]
